Brief Answer:
Soon , imediately after ingested.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The cocaine may cause a heart attach soon after ingested. It makes heart to beat faster , narrows the blood vessels causing the heart to beat harder also causing extra stress on heart and heart attach can be possible also.
I think you are not at risk now because the first moment has gone.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
